Scope and Content Note
This series contains documents collected as reference materials for Rothschild's sermons and committee work as well as appointment books, printed programs and similar memorabilia removed from the scrapbooks. The reference materials yield valuable information in several areas. The folder on civil rights, for example, contains copies of two manifestos on race relations issued by Atlanta clergymen in 1957 and 1958. This folder also contains a copy of the address Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered at the 1963 UAHC convention, as well as the program and list of sponsors for the 1964 dinner Atlantans gave to honor Dr. King's receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. Arranged alphabetically by topic, the reference items indicate the kinds of sources Rothschild used to support his work.
The series of appointment books (Box 20: folder 7) covers only the period September 1970 to February 1974 and thus offers only a small glimpse into the rabbi's daily life. Box 20 also contains a variety of papers about Rothschild's travel abroad and his 25th Temple anniversary as well as a miscellany of conference programs and other printed items removed from the five scrapbooks the Rothschilds maintained.
